Do NOT Let Your Ears Be Tickled


We should consider what is said—not with what eloquence it is said. Nor should we look at how it tickles the ears. Instead, we should look at the benefits that it confers on its hearers.

  1. Glenn I have been away from your blog for a while, and have some catching up to do. But I wanted to thank you again for being so faithful to exposing so many false teachings and teachers. I am continually trying to educate myself so that I can follow God‘s truth. I was involved for the first 43 years of my life in a “Christian “church that is based very much on human works, and I feel I am still learning God‘s truth. May God abundantly bless you and your family, thank you for your faithfulness.

  2. Hi Mary,

    Sorry it took so long to post; at the time you wrote your comment I was with two other pipers and my drummer wife participating in a Veterans Day event. The rest of the day was quite busy as was this morning and I"m finally getting to my emails!!!

    Thank you for your encouragement. You just demonstrated why I do this ministry.

    Blessing to you and yours.
